In addition, the present invention also relates to a method for increasing the resistance of a ce-real plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn, wherein the increased re-sistance is determined by the increased rate of germination of cereal seed selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn and/or emergence and/or increasing the height of cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn and/or increasing the root length of cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn as com-pared to the cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn and/or its plant propagation material not contacted with at least one of the compound of formula (la), (lb) or mixture comprising the compound of formula (la) and the compound of formula (lb), in various kinds of conditions as e.g. well-watered or drought conditions.
In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for increasing the resistance of a cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn, wherein the increased resistance is determined by the increased rate of germination of cereal seed selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn.
According to the The Food and Agriculture Organization (FA0;2004), population will continue to grow from currently 6.07 billion to 8.9 billion in 2050. Highest growth rates are expected in the developing countries. Obviously, the more people there are on Earth, the more re-sources are needed to meet their basic needs such as food and water. The United Na-tions Organization has pointed out that the food production has to nearly double to feed the expected global population. Even though there has been an impressive growth in food production during the last decades, which can mainly be attributed to the development of improved, disease-resistant varieties of staple crops and the increased use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the food production does not keep up with the rapid population growth. One of the most severe consequences is the expansion of arable land by cutting down forests or by irrigating cropland with salty water leading to salinization of the soils and widespread land degradation. Such inappropriate farming practices may impoverish and erode the soil; reduce vegetation and result in over-use and improperly use of agro-chemicals. As a result, less arable and productive land is available. Taking climatic changes into account, it must additionally be expected that the yield will decline in many areas of the world due to adverse weather conditions. With respect to the growing world population, the increase of crop yield must be regarded as a global challenge.
Besides the growing world population which directly leads to an increased food and energy re-quirement, the growing wealth results in an increased meat consumption and consequent-

Besides the growing world population which directly leads to an increased food and energy re-quirement, the growing wealth results in an increased meat consumption and consequent-
3 ly to an increase in feed demand. In addition, quality issues become more and more im-portant. It is known that the food quality is regarded by many consumers as the most im-portant parameter. Various parameters determine the food quality. Besides genetic as-pects, the cropping system including the optimal nutrition as well as the protection against abiotic and biotic stress factors can alter the overall quality of plants and their products as an indicator of plant health to a substantial extent. Complying with the quality standards and at the same time to remain competitive at the market, ecologically sound and eco-nomically viable production methods are essential to the farmer.
WO 2016/162371 discloses that pesticidal carboxamide compound of formula (la), (lb) or a mix-ture thereof are capable of increasing the plant health of a cultivated plant with at least one modification, for example herbicide tolerance, insect resistance and such, as com-pared to a respective non-modified control plant. However, this reference does not dis-close the method as defined at the outset and its positive effects on the health of a plant such as for increasing the resistance of a cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn, wherein the increased resistance is determined by the increased rate of germination of cereal seed selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn and/or emergence and/or increasing the height of cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn and/or increasing the root length of cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn as compared to the cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn and/or its plant propagation material not contacted with at least one of the compound of formula (la), (lb) or mixture comprising the compound of formula (la) and the compound of formula (lb), in both well-watered and drought condi-tions.
In crop protection, there is a continuous need for methods that improve the health of plants.
Healthier plants are desirable since they result among others in better yields and/or a bet-ter quality of the crop plants. Healthier plants also better resist to biotic and/or abiotic stress. A high resistance against abiotic stresses in turn allows the person skilled in the art to reduce the quantity of pesticides applied and consequently to slow down the develop-ment of resistances against the respective pesticides.
It has now been surprisingly found that this object is achieved by the method defined at the out-set which provides enhanced plant health effects such as an increased geremination rate, increased root length and increased height.
In one embodiment, the method according to invention is a method to increase the resistance of a cereal plant selected from the group consisting of wheat and corn, and/or its plant prop-agation material to abiotic stress which method comprises treating the cereal plant select-ed from the group consisting of wheat and corn and/or its plant propagation material with at least one of i) compound of formula (la), cF3 Br CF3 N

The term "genetically modified plants" is to be understood as plants, which genetic material hasbeen modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques in a way that under natural circumstances it cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural re-combination. The term "plant" is to be understood as including wild type plants and plants, which have been modified by either conventional breeding, or mutagenesis or genetic en-gineering, or by a combination thereof. Plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, and are of particular commercial importance, include alfalfa, rape-seed (e.g. oilseed rape), bean, carnation, chicory, cotton, eggplant, eucalyptus, flax, lentil,
turf; natural rubber plants.

The term "genetically modified plants" is to be understood as plants, which genetic material hasbeen modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques in a way that under natural circumstances it cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural re-combination. The term "plant" is to be understood as including wild type plants and plants, which have been modified by either conventional breeding, or mutagenesis or genetic en-gineering, or by a combination thereof. Plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, and are of particular commercial importance, include alfalfa, rape-seed (e.g. oilseed rape), bean, carnation, chicory, cotton, eggplant, eucalyptus, flax, lentil,
9 maize, melon, papaya, petunia, plum, poplar, potato, rice, soybean, squash, sugar beet, sugarcane, sunflower, sweet pepper, tobacco, tomato, and cereals (e.g. wheat), in par-ticular maize, soybean, cotton, wheat, and rice. In plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, one or more genes have been mutagenized or inte-grated into the genetic material of the plant. The one or more mutagenized or integrated genes are preferably selected from pat, epsps, cry1Ab, bar, cry 1 Fa2, cry1Ac, cry34Ab1, cry35AB1, cry3A, cryF, cry IF, mcry3a, cry2Ab2, cry3Bb1, cry IA. 105, dfr, barnase, vip3Aa20, barstar, als, bxn, bp40, asnl , and pp05. The mutagenesis or integration of the one or more genes is performed in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such properties, also known as traits, include abiotic stress tolerance, altered growth/yield, dis-ease resistance, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, modified product quality, and pol-lination control. Of these properties, herbicide tolerance, e.g. imidazolinone tolerance, glyphosate tolerance, or glufosinate tolerance, is of particular importance.
Several plants have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by mutagenesis, for example Clearfield@
oilseed rape being tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox. Alternatively, genetic engi-neering methods have been used to render plants, such as soybean, cotton, corn, beets and oil seed rape, tolerant to herbicides, such as glyphosate and glufosinate, some of which are commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady@
(glyphosate) and LibertyLink@ (glufosinate). Furthermore, insect resistance is of importance, in particu-lar lepidopteran insect resistance and coleopteran insect resistance. Insect resistance is typically achieved by modifying plants by integrating cry and/or vip genes, which were iso-lated from Baci//us thuringiensis (Bt), and code for the respective Bt toxins.
Genetically modified plants with insect resistance are commercially available under trade names including WideStrike@, Bollgard@, Agrisure@, Herculex@, YieldGard@, Genuity@, and Intacta@.
Plants may be modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering either in terms of one property (singular traits) or in terms of a combination of properties (stacked traits).
Stacked traits, e.g. the combination of herbicide tolerance and insect resistance, are of increasing im-portance. In general, all relevant modified plants in connection with singular or stacked traits as well as detailed 25 information as to the mutagenized or integrated genes and the respective events are available from websites of the organizations "International Ser-vice for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (I SAAA)"
(http://www.isaaa.org/gmapprovaldatabase) and "Center for Environmental Risk Assess-ment (CERA)" (http://cera-gmc.org/GMCropDatabase).
"Transgenic plants" are those, which genetic material has been modified by the use of recombi-nant DNA techniques that under natural circumstances can not readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination, whereby the modification confers a trait (or more than one trait) or confers the increase of a trait (or more than one trait) as listed below as compared to the wild-type plant. Preferably, the term "transgenic plant" re-fers to a plant, which has been modified by genetic engineering.
In one embodiment, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a ge-netically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant, preferably in-crease a trait as listed below as compared to the wild-type plant. Such genetic modifica-tions also include but are not limited to targeted post-translational modification of pro-tein(s), or to post-transcriptional modifications of oligo- or polypeptides e.g. by glycosyla-tion or polymer additions such as prenylated, acetylated, phosphorylated or farnesylated moieties or PEG moieties.
In one embodiment under the term "modification" when reffering to a transgenic plant or parts thereof is understood that the activity, expression level or amount of a gene product or the metabolite content is changed, e.g. increased or decreased, in a specific volume relative to a corresponding volume of a control, reference or wild-type plant or plant cell, including the de novo creation of the activity or expression.
Several plants have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by mutagenesis, for example Clearfield@

In one embodiment under the term "modification" when reffering to a transgenic plant or parts thereof is understood that the activity, expression level or amount of a gene product or the metabolite content is changed, e.g. increased or decreased, in a specific volume relative to a corresponding volume of a control, reference or wild-type plant or plant cell, including the de novo creation of the activity or expression.
10 In one embodiment, the activity of a polypeptide is increased or generated by expression or overexpresion of the gene coding for said polypeptide which confers a trait or confers the increase of a trait as listed below as compared to the control plant. The term "expression"
or "gene expression" means the transcription of a specific gene or specific genes or spe-cific genetic construct. The term "expression" or "gene expression" in particular means the transcription of a gene or genes or genetic construct into structural RNA
(rRNA, tRNA), regulatory RNA (e.g. miRNA, RNAi, RNAa) or mRNA with or without subsequent transla-tion of the latter into a protein.ln another embodiment the term "expression"
or "gene ex-pression" in particular means the transcription of a gene or genes or genetic construct into structural RNA (rRNA, tRNA) or mRNA with or without subsequent translation of the latter into a protein. In yet another embodiment it means the transcription of a gene or genes or genetic construct into mRNA. The process includes transcription of DNA and processing of the resulting mRNA product. The term "increased expression" or "overexpression" as used herein means any form of expression that is additional to the original wild-type ex-pression level.
The term "expression of a polypeptide" is understood in one embodiment to mean the level of said protein or polypeptide, preferably in an active form, in a cell or organism.
In one embodiment, the activity of a polypeptide is decreased by decreased expression of the gene coding for said polypeptide which confers a trait or confers the increase of a trait as listed below as compared to the control plant. Reference herein to "decreased expression"
or "reduction or substantial elimination" of expression is taken to mean a decrease in en-dogenous gene expression and/or polypeptide levels and/or polypeptide activity relative to control plants. It comprises further reducing, repressing, decreasing or deleting of an ex-pression product of a nucleic acid molecule.
The terms "reduction", "repression", "decrease" or "deletion" relate to a corresponding change of a property in an organism, a part of an organism such as a tissue, seed, root, tuber, fruit, leave, flower etc. or in a cell. Under "change of a property" it is understood that the activity, expression level or amount of a gene product or the metabolite content is changed in a specific volume or in a specific amount of protein relative to a corresponding volume or amount of protein of a control, reference or wild type. Preferably, the overall ac-tivity in the volume is reduced, decreased or deleted in cases if the reduction, decrease or deletion is related to the reduction, decrease or deletion of an activity of a gene product, independent whether the amount of gene product or the specific activity of the gene prod-uct or both is reduced, decreased or deleted or whether the amount, stability or translation
or "gene expression" means the transcription of a specific gene or specific genes or spe-cific genetic construct. The term "expression" or "gene expression" in particular means the transcription of a gene or genes or genetic construct into structural RNA
(rRNA, tRNA), regulatory RNA (e.g. miRNA, RNAi, RNAa) or mRNA with or without subsequent transla-tion of the latter into a protein.ln another embodiment the term "expression"

The term "increased expression" or "overexpression" as used herein means any form of expression that is additional to the original wild-type ex-pression level.
The term "expression of a polypeptide" is understood in one embodiment to mean the level of said protein or polypeptide, preferably in an active form, in a cell or organism.
In one embodiment, the activity of a polypeptide is decreased by decreased expression of the gene coding for said polypeptide which confers a trait or confers the increase of a trait as listed below as compared to the control plant. Reference herein to "decreased expression"
or "reduction or substantial elimination" of expression is taken to mean a decrease in en-dogenous gene expression and/or polypeptide levels and/or polypeptide activity relative to control plants. It comprises further reducing, repressing, decreasing or deleting of an ex-pression product of a nucleic acid molecule.
The terms "reduction", "repression", "decrease" or "deletion" relate to a corresponding change of a property in an organism, a part of an organism such as a tissue, seed, root, tuber, fruit, leave, flower etc. or in a cell. Under "change of a property" it is understood that the activity, expression level or amount of a gene product or the metabolite content is changed in a specific volume or in a specific amount of protein relative to a corresponding volume or amount of protein of a control, reference or wild type. Preferably, the overall ac-tivity in the volume is reduced, decreased or deleted in cases if the reduction, decrease or deletion is related to the reduction, decrease or deletion of an activity of a gene product, independent whether the amount of gene product or the specific activity of the gene prod-uct or both is reduced, decreased or deleted or whether the amount, stability or translation
11 efficacy of the nucleic acid sequence or gene encoding for the gene product is reduced, decreased or deleted.
The terms "reduction", "repression", 'decrease" or 'deletion" include the change of said property in only parts of the subject of the present invention, for example, the modification can be found in compartment of a cell, like an organelle, or in a part of a plant, like tissue, seed, root, leave, tuber, fruit, flower etc. but is not detectable if the overall subject, i.e. complete cell or plant, is tested. Preferably, the "reduction", "repression", "decrease" or "deletion" is found cellular, thus the term "reduction, decrease or deletion of an activity"
or "reduction, decrease or deletion of a metabolite content" relates to the cellular reduction, decrease or deletion compared to the wild type cell. In addition, the terms "reduction", "repression", "decrease" or "deletion" include the change of said property only during different growth phases of the organism used in the inventive process, for example the reduction, repres-sion, decrease or deletion takes place only during the seed growth or during blooming.
Furthermore, the terms include a transitional reduction, decrease or deletion for example because the used method, e.g. the antisense, RNAi, snRNA, dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, ta-siRNA, cosuppression molecule, or ribozyme, is not stable integrated in the genome of the organism or the reduction, decrease, repression or deletion is under control of a regulato-ry or inducible element, e.g. a chemical or otherwise inducible pro20 moter, and has therefore only a transient effect.
Methods to achieve said reduction, decrease or deletion in an expression product are known in the art, for example from the international patent application WO 2008/034648, particularly in paragraphs [0020.1.1.1], [0040.1.1.1], [0040.2.1.1] and [0041.1.1.1].
Reducing, repressing, decreasing or deleting of an expression product of a nucleic acid mo1e25 cule in modified plants is known. Examples are canola i.e. double nill oilseed rape with re-duced amounts of erucic acid and sinapins.
Such a decrease can also be achieved for example by the use of recombinant DNA
technology, such as antisense or regulatory RNA (e.g. miRNA, RNAi, RNAa) or siRNA
approaches. In particular RNAi, snRNA, dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, ta-siRNA, cosuppression molecule, ribo-zyme, or antisense nucleic acid molecule, a nucleic acid molecule conferring the expres-sion of a dominant-negative mutant of a protein or a nucleic acid construct capable to re-combine with and silence, inactivate, repress or reduces the activity of an endogenous gene may be used to decrease the activity of a polypeptide in a transgenic plant or parts thereof or a plant cell thereof used in one embodiment of the methods of the invention.
Examples of transgenic plants with reduced, repressed, decreased or deleted expression product of a nucleic acid molecule are Carica papaya (Papaya plants) with the event name XI 7-2 of the University of Florida, Prunus domestica (Plum) with the event name 05 of the United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service. Also known are plants with increased resistance to nematodes for example by reducing, re-pressing, decreasing or deleting of an expression product of a nucleic acid molecule, e.g.
from the PCT publication WO 2008/095886.
The reduction or substantial elimination is in increasing order of preference at least 10%, 20%, 30%, or 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or more reduced compared to that of control plants. Reference herein to an "endogenous" gene not only re-fers to the gene in question as found in a plant in its natural form (i.e., without there being

Furthermore, the terms include a transitional reduction, decrease or deletion for example because the used method, e.g. the antisense, RNAi, snRNA, dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, ta-siRNA, cosuppression molecule, or ribozyme, is not stable integrated in the genome of the organism or the reduction, decrease, repression or deletion is under control of a regulato-ry or inducible element, e.g. a chemical or otherwise inducible pro20 moter, and has therefore only a transient effect.
Methods to achieve said reduction, decrease or deletion in an expression product are known in the art, for example from the international patent application WO 2008/034648, particularly in paragraphs [0020.1.1.1], [0040.1.1.1], [0040.2.1.1] and [0041.1.1.1].
Reducing, repressing, decreasing or deleting of an expression product of a nucleic acid mo1e25 cule in modified plants is known. Examples are canola i.e. double nill oilseed rape with re-duced amounts of erucic acid and sinapins.
Such a decrease can also be achieved for example by the use of recombinant DNA
technology, such as antisense or regulatory RNA (e.g. miRNA, RNAi, RNAa) or siRNA
approaches. In particular RNAi, snRNA, dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, ta-siRNA, cosuppression molecule, ribo-zyme, or antisense nucleic acid molecule, a nucleic acid molecule conferring the expres-sion of a dominant-negative mutant of a protein or a nucleic acid construct capable to re-combine with and silence, inactivate, repress or reduces the activity of an endogenous gene may be used to decrease the activity of a polypeptide in a transgenic plant or parts thereof or a plant cell thereof used in one embodiment of the methods of the invention.
Examples of transgenic plants with reduced, repressed, decreased or deleted expression product of a nucleic acid molecule are Carica papaya (Papaya plants) with the event name XI 7-2 of the University of Florida, Prunus domestica (Plum) with the event name 05 of the United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service. Also known are plants with increased resistance to nematodes for example by reducing, re-pressing, decreasing or deleting of an expression product of a nucleic acid molecule, e.g.
from the PCT publication WO 2008/095886.
The reduction or substantial elimination is in increasing order of preference at least 10%, 20%, 30%, or 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, or more reduced compared to that of control plants. Reference herein to an "endogenous" gene not only re-fers to the gene in question as found in a plant in its natural form (i.e., without there being
12 any human intervention), but also refers to that same gene (or a substantially homologous nucleic acid/gene) in an isolated form subsequently (re)introduced into a plant (a transgene). For example, a transgenic plant containing such a transgene may encounter a substantial reduction of the transgene expression and/or substantial reduction of expres-sion of the endogenous gene.
The terms "control" or "reference" are exchangeable and can be a cell or a part of a plant such as an organelle like a chloroplast or a tissue, in particular a plant, which was not modified or treated according to the herein described process according to the invention. Accord-ingly, the plant used as control or reference corresponds to the plant as much as possible and is as identical to the subject matter of the invention as possible. Thus, the control or reference is treated identically or as identical as possible, saying that only conditions or properties might be different which do not influence the quality of the tested property other than the treatment of the present invention.
It is possible that control or reference plants are wild-type plants. However, "control" or "refer-ence" may refer to plants carrying at least one genetic modification, when the plants em-ployed in the process of the present invention carry at least one genetic modification more than said control or reference plants. In one embodiment control or reference plants may be transgenic but differ from transgenic plants employed in the process of the present in-vention only by said modification contained in the transgenic plants employed in the pro-cess of the present invention.
The term "wild type" or "wild-type plants" refers to a plant without said genetic modification.
These terms can refer to a cell or a part of a plant such as an organelle like a chloroplast or a tissue, in particular a plant, which lacks said genetic modification but is otherwise as identical as possible to the plants with at least one genetic modification employed in the present invention.
In a particular embodiment, the "wild-type" plant is not transgenic.
Preferably, the wild type is identically treated according to the herein described process accord-ing to the invention. The person skilled in the art will recognize if wild-type plants will not require certain treatments in advance to the process of the present invention, e.g. non-transgenic wild-type plants will not need selection for transgenic plants for example by treatment with a selecting agent such as a herbicide.
The control plant may also be a nullizygote of the plant to be assessed. The term "nullizygotes"
refers to a plant that has undergone the same production process as a transgenic, yet has lost the once aquired genetic modification (e.g. due to mendelian segregation) as the cor-responding transgenic. If the starting material of said production process is transgenic, then nullizygotes are also transgenic but lack the additional genetic modification intro-duced by the production process. In the process of the present invention the purpose of wild-type and nullizygotes is the same as the one for control and reference or parts there-of. All of these serve as controls in any comparison to provide evidence of the advanta-geous effect of the present invention.
Preferably, any comparison is carried out under analogous conditions. The term "analogous conditions" means that all conditions such as, for example, culture or growing conditions, soil, nutrient, water content of the soil, temperature, humidity or surrounding air or soil, as-say conditions (such as buffer composition, temperature, substrates, pathogen strain,

13 concentrations and the like) are kept identical between the experiments to be compared.
The person skilled in the art will recognize if wild-type, control or reference plants will not require certain treatments in advance to the process of the present invention, e.g. non-transgenic wild-type plants will not need selection for transgenic plants for example by treatment with herbicide.
In case that the conditions are not analogous the results can be normalized or standardized based on the control.

The term "plant propagation material" is to be understood to denote all the generative parts of the plant such as seeds and vegetative plant material such as cuttings and tubers (e.g.
potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This includes seeds, grains, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, cuttings, spores, offshoots, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants, including seedlings and young plants, which are to be trans-planted after germination or after emergence from soil, meristem tissues, single and mul-tiple plant cells and any other plant tissue from which a complete plant can be obtained.
The term "propagules" or "plant propagules" is to be understood to denote any structure with the capacity to give rise to a new plant, e.g. a seed, a spore, or a part of the vegetative body capable of independent growth if detached from the parent. In a preferred embodiment, the term "propagules" or "plant propagules" denotes for seed.
The term "BBCH principal growth stage" refers to the extended BBCH-scale which is a system for a uniform coding of phenologically similar growth stages of all mono- and dicotyle-donous plant species in which the entire developmental cycle of the plants is subdivided into clearly recognizable and distinguishable longer-lasting developmental phases. The BBCH-scale uses a decimal code system, which is divided into principal and secondary growth stages. The abbreviation BBCH derives from "Biologische Bundesanstalt, Bun-dessortenamt und CHemische Industrie" (the Federal Biological Research Centre for Ag-riculture and Forestry (Germany), the Bundessortenamt (Germany) and the chemical in-dustry).
The term "vegetative growth stage" is to be understood to denote the BBCH
principal growth stages 1 (leaf development), 2 (formation of side shoots; tillering), 3 (stem elongation or rosette growth, shoot development) and 4 (development of harvestable vegetative plant parts or vegetatively propagated organs).

The term "health of a plant" or "plant health" is defined as a condition of the plant and/or its products. As a result of the improved health, yield, plant vigor, quality and tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress are increased. Noteworthy, the health of a plant when applying the method according to the invention, is increased independently of the pesticidal properties of the active ingredients used because the increase in health is not based upon the re-duced pest pressure but instead on complex physiological and metabolic reactions which result for example in an activation of the plant's own natural defense system.
As a result, the health of a plant is increased even in the absence of pest pressure.
Accordingly, in an especially preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the health of a plant is increased both in the presence and absence of biotic or abiotic stress factors.
The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or they may result from each other. An increase in plant vigor may for example result in an in-creased yield and/or tolerance and/or resistance to abiotic or biotic stress.

The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or they may result from each other. An increase in plant vigor may for example result in an in-creased yield and/or tolerance and/or resistance to abiotic or biotic stress.
15 One indicator for the condition of the plant is the yield. "Yield" is to be understood as any plant product of economic value that is produced by the plant such as grains, fruits in the proper sense, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood (e.g. in the case of silviculture plants) or even flowers (e.g. in the case of gardening plants, ornamentals). The plant products may in addition be further utilized and/or processed after harvesting. In particular, the yield of the treated plant is increased. More particularly, the yield of the plants treated according to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.
In one embodiment, "increased yield" of a plant, in particular of an agricultural, silviculturel and/or horticultural plant means that the yield of a product of the respective plant is in-creased by a measurable amount over the yield of the same product of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the mixture according to the in-vention.
In particular, increased yield can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the plant:
= increased plant weight = increased plant height = increased biomass such as higher overall fresh weight (FW) = increased number of flowers per plant = higher grain yield = more tillers or side shoots (branches) = larger leaves = increased shoot growth = increased protein content = increased oil content = increased starch content = increased pigment content = increased leaf index In particular, the yield is increased by at least 4 %, preferable by 5 to 10 %, more preferable by 10 to 20 %, or even 20 to 30 % compared to the untreated control plants or plants treated

16 with pesticides in a way different from the method according to the present invention. In general, the yield increase may even be higher.
A further indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant vigor. The plant vigor becomes mani-fest in several aspects such as the general visual appearance. In particular, the plant vigor of the treated plant is increased. More particularly, the plant vigor of the plants treated ac-cording to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.
Improved plant vigor can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the plant:
= improved vitality of the plant = improved plant growth = improved plant development = improved visual appearance = improved plant stand (less plant verse/lodging) = improved emergence = enhanced root growth and/or more developed root system = enhanced nodulation, in particular rhizobial nodulation = bigger leaf blade = bigger size = increased plant weight = increased plant height = increased tiller number = increased number of side shoots = increased number of flowers per plant = increased shoot growth = increased root growth (extensive root system) = increased yield when grown on poor soils or unfavorable climate = enhanced photosynthetic activity (e.g. based on increased stomatal conductance and/or increased CO2 assimilation rate) = increased stomata! conductance = increased CO2 assimilation rate = enhanced pigment content (e.g. chlorophyll content) = earlier flowering = earlier fruiting = earlier and improved germination = earlier grain maturity = improved self-defence mechanisms = improved stress tolerance and resistance of the plants against biotic and abiotic stress factors such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, heat stress, cold stress, drought stress, UV stress and/or salt stress = less non-productive tillers = less dead basal leaves = less input needed (such as fertilizers or water) = greener leaves = complete maturation under shortened vegetation periods
A further indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant vigor. The plant vigor becomes mani-fest in several aspects such as the general visual appearance. In particular, the plant vigor of the treated plant is increased. More particularly, the plant vigor of the plants treated ac-cording to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.

17 = less fertilizers needed = less seeds needed = easier harvesting = faster and more uniform ripening longer shelf-life longer panicles = delay of senescence = stronger and/or more productive tillers = better extractability of ingredients = improved quality of seeds (for being seeded in the following seasons for seed pro-duction) = better nitrogen uptake = improved reproduction = reduced production of ethylene and/or the inhibition of its reception by the plant.
The improvement of the plant vigor particularly means that the improvement of any one or sev-eral or all of the above-mentioned plant characteristics are improved independently of the pesticidal action of the mixture or active ingredients (components).
Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the "quality" of a plant and/or its products.
In one embodiment of the invention, the quality of the treated plant is increased.
In one embodiment of the invention, the quality of the plants treated according to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically. In particular, enhanced quality means that cer-tain plant characteristics such as the content or composition of certain ingredients are in-creased or improved by a measurable or noticeable amount over the same factor of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the mixtures of the present invention. Enhanced quality can be characterized, among others, by following improved properties of the plant or its product:
= increased nutrient content = increased protein content = increased content of fatty acids = increased metabolite content = increased carotenoid content = increased sugar content = increased amount of essential amino acids = improved nutrient composition = improved protein composition = improved composition of fatty acids = improved metabolite composition = improved carotenoid composition = improved sugar composition = improved amino acids composition = improved or optimal fruit color = improved leaf color = higher storage capacity = higher processability of the harvested products.

18 Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant's tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors. Biotic and abiotic stress, especially over longer terms, can have harmful effects on plants. Biotic stress is caused by living organisms while abiotic stress is caused for example by environmental extremes.
In one embodiment of the present invention, "enhanced tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors" means (1) that certain negative factors caused by biotic and/or abiotic stress are diminished in a meas-urable or noticeable amount as compared to plants exposed to the same conditions, but without being treated with a mixture according to the invention and (2) that the negative effects are not diminished by a direct action of the mixture according to the invention on the stress factors, e.g. by its fungicidal or insecticidal action which directly destroys the microorganisms or pests, but rather by a stimulation of the plants' own de-fensive reactions against said stress factors.
In one preferred embodiment of the invention, the tolerance or resistance to abiotic stress of the treated plant is increased. In particular, the tolerance or resistance to abiotic stress of the plants treated according to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.
Negative factors caused by abiotic stress are also well-known and can often be observed as reduced plant vigor (see above), for example: dotted leaves, "burned leaves", reduced growth, less flowers, less biomass, less crop yields, reduced nutritional value of the crops, later crop maturity, to give just a few examples. Abiotic stress can be caused for example by:
= extremes in temperature such as heat or cold (heat stress / cold stress) = strong variations in temperature = temperatures unusual for the specific season = drought (drought stress) = extreme wetness = high salinity (salt stress) = radiation (for example by increased UV radiation due to the decreasing ozone layer) = increased ozone levels (ozone stress) = organic pollution (for example by phythotoxic amounts of pesticides) = inorganic pollution (for example by heavy metal contaminants).
As a result of biotic and/or abiotic stress factors, the quantity and the quality of the stressed plants, their crops and fruits decrease. As far as quality is concerned, reproductive devel-opment is usually severely affected with consequences on the crops which are important for fruits or seeds. Synthesis, accumulation and storage of proteins are mostly affected by temperature; growth is slowed by almost all types of stress; polysaccharide synthesis, both structural and storage is reduced or modified: these effects result in a decrease in bi-omass (yield) and in changes in the nutritional value of the product.
Advantageous properties, obtained especially from treated seeds, are e.g.
improved germina-tion and field establishment, better vigor and/or a more homogen field establishment.
As pointed out above, the above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent and may result from each other. For example, an increased resistance to abiotic stress may lead to a better plant vigor, e.g. to better and bigger crops, and thus to

26 Examples Watering cycles - The level of stress is created by watering the pots based on the % of pot moisture as measured by wireless probes. Depending on weather conditions the number of cycles vary as needed.
The % of moisture triggers the watering process independent of the time that it takes to reach this point.
In "well-watered conditions" or "standard watered conditions", in pots the %
moisture is kept above 80%.
In "drought conditions", in the pots re-watering happens at 45% pot moisture.
"Untreated" means that the seed has not been exposed to the compound 1(a).
The treaments(s) were applied directly over the planted seed at the rates found in the table(s) below. Seeds were then covered and the % rate of germination was calculated at 21 days after planting.
The % rate of germination was calculated as the number of seeds that emerged divided by the number of seeds planted and presented as as a percentage.
Seeds were planted in two types of soil (Mineral and Organic) which were free of pest (insects, weeds, or diseases) to avoid interactions with the treatments applied Example 1: Increase in % of Germination in Maize (Corn) by Drench treatment Treatments Untreated 0.5 mg of 1 mg of Oar/plant Oar/plant % Germination in Mineral soil in 95 100 100 Standard conditions % Germination in Organic soil in 95 98 100 Draught conditions Example 2: Increase % germination in Wheat by seed treatement Treatments Untreated 0.5 mg of Oar/plant % Germination in Mineral soil in Standard conditions 89 95 % Germination in Organic soil in Draught conditions 86 95 % Germination in Organic soil in Standard conditions 89 100 *30% FS formulation
